THE KIWI JAZZ LEGENDS: led by JULIE MASON 

This group which encompasses some of NZ’s finest jazz musicians, was formed as a tribute to the late PHIL BROADHURST (pianist/composer/educator/broadcaster), by his wife/widow JULIE MASON. The band played at Phil’s funeral for 100 people on August 1st 2020, and then again at Phil’s Memorial Concert on 15th November 2020.

 The line-up is as follows:

Trumpet/flugelhorn: KIM PATERSON

Tenor sax: BRIAN SMITH

Piano & vocals: JULIE MASON

Bass: ALBERTO SANTARELLI

Drums:  FRANK GIBSON

All are truly Kiwi Jazz Legends, except for the pianist, who, at 60 years of age only, is working on it!

The programme will feature a mix of Phil’s favourite Jazz Standards and Songbook Standards, with special arrangements by Julie.

 Something for everybody ... and another chance to remember the extremely talented Phil Broadhurst.
